I don't think that *everything* in life is a series of beliefs. There is quite a large gap between explaining social constructs (there *are* reasons for most - any society needs rules to govern people's interaction with each other), race and gender (there are quite obvious differences between people of different genders - are you talking about social constructs here?); and adopting a creation-of-the-world belief from the other side of the globe, adding in liturgy and bureaucracy over a couple of millennia and then calling it God. Don't get me wrong - I'm not belittling Christians here, but I don't think the logic of explaining God is at all comparable to the logic of explaining the examples you gave.
